With cases of the coronavirus in California nearing 1,500, state officials called on residents to self-isolate and tried to increase the speed of testing.

Amid some reports that people were gathering with friends or not maintaining the recommended social distance, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday pleaded for residents to avoid unnecessary social contact.

The staff of the Los Angeles Times has been documenting the changing landscape of everyday life. Here are views from on high of the Southland in the time of the coronavirus.

The homeless are still there and have not moved.

The illegals are still there and have not moved.

Abortion mills are still open.

Pot shops are still open.

Etc.

Get some pics!

You should, because they will give it to you or family.

Always depend on the LA Slime Bucket to report from a negative point of view.

What about all those businesses that have been illegally forced to shut down, putting thousands of your illegal aliens out of work? Do you not care about that?

The slime is not interested in anything that does not further their leftist bias, their leftist agenda. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda, right guys? Screw you!!!

They are all out of town. My son-in-law just took a job in Denver and has to be there by the beginning of next week. They started driving to Denver today and stopped at the Grand Canyon, they said the parking lots were full.

Now would be a good time for a remake of movie “The Omega Man”. No need for CGI or filming on early Sunday mornings only to get the empty streets effect.

Drove today from Sierra foothills to almost Bakersfield and back, did not see this isolation. Goodly amount of cars on 99, stopped at McD for breakfast, used their restroom. Lobby roped off was all. Really not at all as bad as we thought.

I ran an errand yesterday afternoon here in Boise, and it was a ghost town. Few cars on the road, and more employees than customers in the store.

Here in my little Oregon coastal town, the highway from inland was bumper to bumper on Saturday. Locals are upset that our governatrix, Kate Brown, has been dragging her feet about imposing shelter in place orders to close state parks and beaches. Some coastal city mayors (Astoria, Seaside, Tillamook) have ordered spring breakers to leave. Our mayor has been hesitant to do this, and some locals are ready to tar and feather him.
